One woman will be awarded an initial franchise fee-free 7-Eleven franchise for an initial franchise fee value of up to $190,000.

This is the second year the retailer has put on the contest specifically for women.

“Last year we had such an incredible response, and we are excited to open the contest again to women who are interested in joining the 7-Eleven team,” said Dan Soper, 7-Eleven Vice President of Operations Support. “7-Eleven encourages women entrepreneurship everywhere, especially in the neighborhoods in which we operate.”

The winner of the contest will be able to choose any of the company’s corporate-operated 7-Eleven convenience stores available for franchising in the continental United States.
